Your path
So different from mine
Yet together
We can offer support
In myriad ways.
We are like sentinel trees in the forest
Each one unique and separate
Connected by roots
That grow gnarly and strong
Able to withstand storms and drought.
The light that fosters their growth
Can be felt as we walk
And as we sit alone
Nothing seems as important
It’s just the way it is.
